Rails - Jul 2009 - pop up form

I need pop up the pre_entry form, but I cannot use link_to because I
need submit the values to load the Pre-entry form. Anybody have an idea
to help me?

thanks


view:
   ...
<%= submit_tag "Pre-Entry"%>
<%= submit_tag "Submit"%>
[<%= link_to "Cancel", :action => "new" %>]
...

Controller:
  def submit
    if params[:commit] == "Pre-Entry"
      render :action => ''pre_entry''
    else
...

Ieeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I found the solution.

view:
  <%= submit_to_popup "Pre-Entry", :url => { :action =>
''pre_entry'' } %>

applicatio_helper:

  def submit_to_popup(label, options = {})
    form_var = options[:form_id] ?
"$(''#{options[:form_id]}'')" :
''this.form''

    url = case options[:url]
          when String then options[:url]
          when Hash   then url_for options[:url]
          else url_for
          end

    button_to_function label, "var 
form=#{form_var};form.action=''#{url}'';form.target=''_blank'';form.submit();form.action=''#{url_for}'';form.target='''';return
false"
  end

-------------
I hope this can help somebody.
